Top Federation University Australia Hotel Reviews

Quest Ballarat

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff, very accommodating and friendly. Room was great and perfect location."

Sovereign Park Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A really convenient location easy to get to many of Ballarat's sights. The room was spacious and clean. Everything you need was there. The checkin process was easy as was checkout. The pool looked great as did the other amenities. The only thing that bothered us which was'nt a huge deal but it was the rooms outside light stays on at night and a big glow comes through the glass panel of the door."

Begonia City Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Was really good no complaints at all."

Craig's Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very unique building and rooms, rooms with character. Beautiful building and very convenient location"

10/10 Excellent

"Lack of information for the pool usage. We were told it was open to 8 o'clock but all the lights are off and the cover was on yet the door is open."

Central City Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Location"

NRMA Ballarat Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"Great budget cabin in a well equipped park Friendly staff and a good location - definitely would return"

Ballarat Suites

8/10 Good

"Had a great stay. Will stay again. I chose a room with a bath and was delighted to see it was one of those tubs with a couple of steps inside to be able to sit, lay and stretch out. Sadly, my 'do not disturb' sign was missing, so I was woken earlier than I'd have liked on a Sunday - but in the scheme of things that is a small gripe in an otherwise lovely stay."

Mid City Ballarat

10/10 Excellent

"I lost my swipe card that opens my door and it was easily replaced at reception i just had to show my photo id"
